Design to Data for mutants of β-glucosidase B from Paenibacillus polymyxa: L171M, H178M, M221L, E406W, N160E, F415M

Computational protein design is growing in popularity as a means to engineer enzymes. Currently, protein design algorithms can predict the stability and function of the enzymes to only a limited degree. Thus, further experimental data is required for training software to more accurately characterize the structure-function relationship of enzymes. To date, the Design2Data (D2D) database holds 129 single point mutations of {beta}-glucosidase B (BglB) characterized by kinetic and thermal stability biophysical parameters. In this study, we introduced six mutants into the BglB database and examined their catalytic activity and thermal stability: L171M, H178M, M221L, E406W, N160E, and F415M.
